Domaine Philippe Alliet Chinon, Coteau Noiré, 2016
Chinon
€59.50
750ml Bottle
Attractive with an inviting nose revealing fresh ground coffee and pepper notes, along with hints of vanilla. Rich and harmonious on the palate, underpinned by a sophisticated structure including firm, fine-grain tannins. This is a marvel from the Loire.
Philippe Alliet and his son Pierre produce Chinon wines with attitude, and which are wonderfully composed, reminding us that wines don’t have to be powerful to be beautiful.
The Chinon appellation covers eighteen villages along the river Vienne. This is Cabernet Franc’s heartland and where the red wine gems of Touraine are produced. This is also the birthplace of François Rabelais who once wrote: ‘When I drink, I think; and when I think, I drink.’
